jsgotangcohey all01:23
Burgworkhey jsgotangco 01:23
ograAmaranth, i found five issues i'd like to see adressed in willowng ...01:24
ogra * daemon needs to background itself01:24
ogra * frontend needs to connect to the systembus not the session bus 01:24
ogra   (needs services file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/)01:24
ogra * the GUI should have a UID 0 check01:24
ogra * gksudo should be added to the .desktop file01:24
ogra * we should ask AliasVegas if she has an idea for an icon01:24
ograapart from that its already a great tool :)01:25
AmaranthUID 0 check?01:25
ograyes, "do i run as root?"01:25
Amaranthif it isn't running as root it can't talk to the daemon (once the service file is in place)01:26
ograsee student control panel ... it has a function for that ... (could be written cleaner though)01:26
Amaranthalthough right now when it can't talk to the daemon it assumes it isn't running...01:26
ograif it communicates with the system bus ?01:26
Amaranthyeah01:26
Amaranthi can restrict access to just the root user01:26
ograyeah, that would suffice01:27
ogradrop that point then :)01:27

Amaranthprobably need a second rule to make that not apply to willowng02:41
Amaranthexcept it shows up in ps as 'python'02:41

ograhuh ? 02:42
Amaranththe pid file02:42
Amaranthlike where does it go, for example02:42
ograto /var/run 02:43
ograit will be called willowng.pid and contain the pid :) 02:43
ograand iptables has a --pid-owner02:44

highvoltageBurgundavia: it seems that it was at leat 20 schools in poor areas, seems like random jerks. this happened over the school holidays08:51
Burgundaviadesperate people do desperate things08:51
highvoltagesome people feel that it must have been an inside job in one of the tuxlab schools to a degree, because they only stole the most valueble stuff that aren't obvously valueble08:52
Burgundaviawhat did they take?08:52
highvoltageserver, switches, and some workstations08:59
highvoltagebut it looks suspicious, because usually when a break in occurs it's just a few workstations that are stolen, no one ever touches a switch09:00

=== pygi thinks he should attend doc team meeting today
Burgundaviapygi: that might be good09:19
RichEdBurgundavia: i'm willing to help with the case study ... can you bang me a 1st draft and I will comment ?09:21
BurgundaviaRichEd: I don't even have enough for that, sadly09:21
RichEdWhat specific topic / project is it for ?09:22
Burgundaviatuxlabs09:22
RichEdThat's a broad topic :) Any specifics ... what is the angle / theme / pitch, who is it directed towards, where will it be published/circulated and finally what does it hope to achieve ??09:24
Burgundaviahow and why tuxlabs choose edubuntu09:24
Burgundaviawhat they needed from an os and how edubuntu delivered that09:24
Burgundaviathe backside will be a section on what edubuntu is, in general terms (designed to be generic across all case studies)09:25
RichEdgreat ... digesting ... thinking ... mmmmmm09:25
RichEdokay how about this for an angle ... (was chatting to JaneW about this last night):09:26
RichEdhypothesis: due to the limited resources (time, money, people) available in the education sector, if schools were able to standardise on a stable underlying o/s09:27
RichEdwhich was free09:27
RichEdand well intended in its long term aims 09:28
RichEdand well supported by the following communities:09:28
RichEd- developers09:28
RichEd- kids09:28
RichEd- teachers09:28
RichEd- manufacuturers09:28
RichEdthen (1) it would free up people & resources to concentrate on educational content + applications09:29
Burgundaviayep, that was the angle I was going for09:29
RichEd(2) it would allow for standard training across schools09:29
Burgundaviaharp on the savings time, etc. and you will win09:29
RichEdaccross countries09:29
RichEdand allow for a common base platform (in al metahphorical senses as well as an o/s sense)09:30
BurgundaviaI want this initial case study to be just a discussion of tuxlabs09:30
RichEdfor the building of the educational experience.09:30
RichEdBurgundavia: Fine ... noted09:30
Burgundaviawhat you are painting is a broader stroke, better for the backside (the generic stuff) than the specific story of how edubuntu worked in this case09:30
RichEdBut if we take the above as a theme, while you (with help) write this specific one ...09:31
RichEdWe can build on the message as we move forward. because NB:09:31
Burgundaviayep09:32
Burgundaviawhen I send my case study, I will lay out general aims/etc, in my email09:32
RichEdWe can't be seen to be arrogant, or taking over ... however well intentioned ...09:32
Burgundaviaoh, I am perfectly ok with being arrogant.. ;)09:32
RichEdBut if we (as edubuntu) can lay a platform for OTHER people, our end-installers & end-users, like the tuXlabs people to make thier own statements / quotes along the lines of our theme ... then it will be a more gentle & subtle way of winning over people09:33
Burgundaviayep09:34
RichEdBurgundavia: i appreciate the witty comment (when you re good, you are allowed to be arrogant) ... but we need to win people over without appearing to have an agenda, or making them feel threatened.09:35
Burgundavia:D09:35
RichEdIf we praised the skills of another Linux community, but said, look guys, we really think your skills are prefectly suited to build _xyz_ application, which will be a killer app that will allow linux to really penetrate ...09:36
RichEd(perfectly) not prefectly09:36
Burgundaviahighvoltage: have any thoughts been put into edubuntu grid stuff?09:36
BurgundaviaI think a good short term goal would be to win over the makers of educational apps, either open source or not09:37
RichEdSo we'll share all of the info about our platform ... and we'll work together to build a wrap around educational environment ... bells & whistles ... wadda wadda wadda09:37
RichEd(you get my point)09:38

RichEdboth approaches would be best ... nop ?09:38
Burgundaviaanything and everything09:39
Burgundaviaideally, it would be nice for the skolelinux people and us to work more together09:39
RichEdexactly: join together into a larger team, work out who is best at what, focus into smaller teams, match teams against the holistc educational requirements, and work & win together :)09:40
RichEdachieve joint success & joint recognition09:41
RichEdnd futher the underlying goals ... a better, cheaper education for all, spitting out more rounded student, better able to cope with the global economy09:42
RichEdand <- nd09:42

highvoltagemhz: yep06:48
mhzthx mon!06:49
mhzwe are only 4 guys06:49
=== #edubuntu [freenode-info] if you're at a conference and other people are having trouble connecting, please mention it to staff: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp
highvoltageogra: I've been wondering about the exporting of / ro we discussed yesterday.06:49
mhzso, 3 will work on drupal info, I will edit it. And I will take care of ESA, Marketing stuff for Edubuntu and try to finally help in E.Handbook06:50
highvoltageis it really more insecure than a normal ltsp network? because anyone who can log in can already see / on the server?06:50
mhzand together, start seriously work on specs for Edubuntu Study Content06:50
highvoltagemhz: ecellent :)06:50
ograhighvoltage, well it relies on nfs being not broken etc06:51
=== mhz is still unsure about exelearning v/s apt for educontents
highvoltageok, you mean in terms of an NFS exploit?06:51
ograimagine a bug that wipes the content of the underlying FS06:52
highvoltageouch06:52
ograwith /opt/ltsp you wont kill your server06:52
ograalso how would you handle multiple chroots ?06:52
ograi.e. two i386 roots tailored for certain things and one ppc chroot06:53
=== lucasvo [n=lucasvo@wservices.ch] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltageogra: what do you mean? why would I need multiple chroots?06:53
ograhighvoltage, ask in #ltsp ... seems to be a very widespread setup06:53
highvoltagecouldn't I just have different runlevels (or init scripts) for that?06:53
ograno06:54
ograppc binaries are still not executable on i38606:54
highvoltageok, I meant for the 386's at least.06:54
highvoltageso for PPC at least you could have a chroot inside the main /06:55
highvoltagei suppose that's unavoidable06:55
highvoltagebut at least you don't have duplication of i386 binaries06:55
ograyou cut down customizability06:55
highvoltagehmm... what if you pass an init=/bin/ltspinit to the terminal and have custom scripts to start that up?06:56
highvoltagethen you could have a real lean client machine, which is even more customisable than our current ones.06:56
highvoltagewhere ltspinit would run our own ltsp init scripts, of course06:57
ograwell, discuss it with jammcq and sbalneav ... as long as we want to take over upstream we wont get around te separate chroot06:57
ograthats a very hackish solution 06:58
ograwe should use debian policy compliant initscripts ... and not hacked up ones that start up others06:59
highvoltagei don't understand what's too hacking about it, for me it sounds less hacky than current methods, but ok, I'll take it up with scott and jim :)06:59
highvoltageah, i see. debian compliancy.06:59
ograalso we need to maintain backwards compatibility and upgradeability06:59
ogra(if we take over upstream that means for all distros as well as for ltsp.org)07:00
=== ogra is afk for a while
highvoltageogra: ok, thanks for explaining. that gives me some more to think about. I will find a way to make it work, and make it Debian compliant. I am determined about this.07:02
highvoltage(not necasarily the / sharing, but avoiding the duplication of binaries, it's anti-unix, afaiac)07:03

ogra?10:38
cbx33yeh I saw that10:39
cbx33but none of those track titles are a beethoven piece, just bits from the film10:39
cbx33:(10:39
ograare you sure you mean that movie ? 10:40
ogranot amadeus ?10:40
cbx33yes that movie10:41
cbx33I'm sure10:41
mhzcbx33: but none of that listing is beethoven10:44
cbx33I know10:44
cbx33that's what I'm saying, I know there is a well known beethoven track used in that film10:45

mhzsorry, wrong tab :)10:47
HedgeMagecbx33: Bethoven's Fifth Symphony... but I wouldn't call it a track, more like a half-dozen notes ;)10:47
=== mhz is using fluxbox now and got used to ion2 keys
ograAmaranth, nope10:48
mhzHedgeMage: hehehe10:48
Amaranthhttp://dev.realistanew.com/releases/willowng/0.2/deb-src/10:48
ograAmaranth, i had a heavy diasussion about transparent proxying today btw10:48
Amarantheh?10:48
LaserJockmhz: flux? poor guy10:48
ograwith iwj10:48
mhzLaserJock: why? dont like efficiency?10:49
ograseems the whole distro team is not fond of transparent proxying .... so we should just close port 80 and set the global gconf settings for the proxy server10:49
LaserJockmhz: nah, you need a real wm like openbox ;-)10:49
Amaranthack10:49
mhzogra: is not 'transparent' 10:50
Amaranthdoes firefox listen to the gconf settings?10:50
mhz:D10:50
Amaranthdoes apt?10:50
ogramhz, GRR10:50
ograAmaranth, afaik yes10:50
mhzogra: you know, my 'transparent' latin sense of humour...just cant help it10:51
mhz:)10:51
ograyep10:51
ogra:)10:51
LaserJockhehe10:51
ograit was just a *very* unpleasant discussion ...10:52
Amaranthso when the check is ticked we block off port 80 (for all but willowng) and set the debconf and gconf proxy settings?10:52
ograyep10:52
ograwithout any internal iptables forwarding/redirect10:53
ograit seems thats done better with a special user ... so we should have a willowng user that runs the backend ...10:53
ograinstead of using the process id10:54
Amaranthok10:54
Amaranthout of my league, i think :)10:54
=== mhz will miss a great session with baristas, to try some coffee flavors...just to be in Handbook meeting...so please , do not cancel it
ograAmaranth, well, your league is to add a user from your preinst and to make sure willowng is run by it from the initscript :) i'll care for the firewalling10:55
Amaranthjust useradd willowng?10:56
ogralook at other packages that do it 10:56
Amaranthoh man, i don't want to look at apache :P10:56
ogracupy for example10:56
ogra*cups10:56
HedgeMagemhz: We won't and we love you for picking us over coffee :)10:57
ograhmm, willown doesnt start ...10:57

pygimhz: uh :(10:58
Amaranthworks for me10:58
ograah, sorry, my fault10:58
pygimhz: I'll miss sleep :P10:58

Amaranthoh wow, cups uses cdbs10:59
ograpitti maintains it 11:00
mhzpygi: yeah, i prefer missing sleeping. I am so fan of good coffee... and this is only once a week. Anyways, as long as we dont cancel that meeting, coffee baristas can wait. Edubuntu needs more love than baristas.11:00
ograhe's a big cdbs fan11:00
pygimhz: we wont cancel it, I just dont know how much people will attend11:00
Amaranthi can't find anything in here about adding a user though11:00
mhzHedgeMage: however, if Shakira were in the baristas session, I would have not chosen you guys, sorry11:00
Amaranthi checked all the .preinst files and rules11:00
HedgeMagemhz: hehehe :)11:00
ograpostinst ? 11:00
=== HedgeMage smooches mhz
mhzsmooch?11:01
=== mhz hides behind a wet pygi :D
Amaranthah, found it11:01
=== pygi took a towel before :P
ograAmaranth, ok, works fine with the new package ... i had broken stuff lying around11:01
HedgeMagemhz: smooch == a kiss on the cheek11:01
mhzHedgeMage: thx, I love kisses11:02
HedgeMage:D11:02
ograAmaranth, you should probably have some info about the port in the UI :)11:02
Amaranthogra: why does a user need to change the port? :)11:02
ograi.e. a small explanation which port is used under the "enable proxy" checkbx11:03
ograi didnt say it needs to be changeable :)11:03
Amaranthand instant-apply + port text entry == ouch11:03
Amaranthoh, ok11:03
ograi just had to look up the portnumber myself yesterday in the code ;)11:03
Amaranthi think 8008 is an apache thing11:04
Amaranthi should find a better port11:04
Amaranth53957 should work :)11:04
ogranot so high ...11:04
ogra7990 11:04
ogra911111:04
Amaranthwhat's the difference?11:04
ogra856311:04
ograits common to use a four digit number ...11:04
ogramight be there is a policy, not sure ...11:05
mhzHedgeMage: i have read the https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuHandbook/EdgyOutline11:05
Amaranthok11:05
mhzHedgeMage: can I give you a Moin tip?11:05
Amaranth8563 for proxy, 8568 for web frontend (coming soon maybe)11:05
ograok11:05
ogracheck /etc/services that its not taken by anything ...11:06
HedgeMagemhz: go for it11:06
HedgeMageI don't do much wikispeak so I'm sure I could use tips :)11:06
mhzwhenever you want readers to know you were there, or just sign a comment (like editors note), you can use this syntax @SIG@, and then save the page. This will place a nice timestamp with your name there.11:06
ograAmaranth, why do you use a control.in file ? thats quite ugly11:06
HedgeMageahh cool11:06
Amaranthogra: neither show up in there11:06
HedgeMageThanks!11:07
Amaranthogra: i dunno11:07
mhzHedgeMage: yw (least I can do after such great kiss :D)11:07
ograplease try to keep away from that unless you want team maintenance :)11:07
ograits helpful if te maintainers list is generated ... but thats the only reason to use a .in file there11:07
=== HedgeMage smooches mhz again
mhzogra: we can't use moin @sig@ ?11:08
ograwhy ?11:08
mhzHedgeMage: hey! I got tons of tips!! :D11:08
mhzheheh11:08
HedgeMagehehe :)11:08
pygi:P11:08
pygiHedgeMage: jabber11:08
mhzogra: you did nto mean my comment, sorry11:08
HedgeMagebrb, I need to snag some lunch before the meeting or I'll keep snacking on junk food11:08
ograAmaranth, we also have a new policy that programs that dont need them shouldnt have stop scripts ...11:08
ograso drop the 6 and 0 from postinst 11:09
Amaranthi have no idea how to do that11:09
=== pygi tickles HedgeMage again :P
ograremove 0 and 6 from the update-rc.d line :)11:09
Amaranthah, that bit of magic that you gave me :)11:10
mhzpygi: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuHandbook/EdgyOutline, what else should I be reading before meeting?11:10
=== pygi looks whats there
=== mhz just wanna be prepared for meeting
ograAmaranth, but only if you are sure that wont break ... i.e. if willowng needs to write to the DB or something from the initscript, make sure it can do that11:10
AmaranthI haven't had any problems with killing it randomly.11:11
mhzpygi: oh, i gotta get a chocolate for the coffee I'll make for meeting. I'll be back in 12 minutes11:11
Amaranthsqlite3 does transactions so it should be safe11:11
ograand if we want it in main (which we want at some point) it needs to use the lsb_init functions instead of echo in the initscript11:11
pygimhz: ok11:11
=== pygi tickles HedgeMage
ograok, then just drop 0 and 611:11
pygiHedgeMage: this stuff of Edgy Outline is so outdated11:12
Amaranth*grumble*11:12
pygithat might be my fault tho11:12
Amaranthdh_make should generate a good initscript then11:12
ogradh_make is not lsb compliant :)11:12
ogra(neither is any other script we have... thats manual work)11:12
ograbut sounds like a good project for a bored one ;)11:13
HedgeMagepygi: what's outdated?11:13
pygiHedgeMage: well, the outline?11:13
pygiit misses many chapters :P11:13
HedgeMagepygi: how so? I thought it was up to date on what we said last meeting and the one before11:13
cbx33HedgeMage, thanx11:13
HedgeMageI could be wrong, of course.11:13
cbx33brb11:13
HedgeMagecbx33: np11:14
pygiHedgeMage: we didnt had (and I dont see anything new) update-ssh-keys on that and we wont have it here according to outline?11:14
HedgeMagepygi: IIRC that's not needed any more... at least there was some talk about a patch regarding it on the mailing list.11:14
ograAmaranth, i'll upload it ... just make sure you do the changes above in the next time ...11:14
HedgeMagebrb, really do need food before the meeting or I'll be forced to binge on greasy potato chips or something11:15
pygiHedgeMage: it's needed, (actually it isnt), but perhaps that will have to be dropped11:15
pygiit misses many chaps it seems11:16
HedgeMagewhat else is missing?11:16
pygiI cant say now, I'm sleeping :P11:16
